Must have kitchen trends

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so making it individual to your personality amongst incorporating the essentials can sometimes be challenging. Yet, keeping up-to-date with current design trends is easier than it has ever been, allowing you to know what is in, and how it can work with your own ideas.

If you are planning a kitchen makeover, then the following looks are quintessential in ensuring you end up with a modern kitchen that you also love.

Soft, muted colour palettesCharcoal, greys and even neutral pastels like pale blue, pale green and tinted whites are the new alternative to the standard colours. Meaning the bolder primary colours are being placed on the back burner, being replaced by the muted colour options.

Open PlanFor the social butterflies, an open plan kitchen is ideal. It centralises the kitchen and offers the space to entertain guests whilst you’re cooking. From breakfast bars to islands, this design gives you the flexibility in terms of space, whilst always being involved.

High GlossA super glossy, futuristic plastic looks striking against a dark or neutral palette. From cherry reds to limes, pure whites to deep berry tones, there are endless choices.

Contemporary CountryThe new country kitchen is a modern day feast for any vintage or traditional kitchen lovers. Pair soft pastels like duck egg blue, mints or pale lemons with darker, richer woods like mahogany or walnut for a contemporary contrast.

Super StorageThis year there will be many appliances and kitchens that are built with space in mind. From drawers opening at the touch to hidden cupboards, multi-use appliances and more; cramming everything into three tiny cupboards is a thing of the past.
